La Lune

La Lune is a vibrant and light-filled home, executed with striking simplicity yet flawless quality, set within expansive, tropical grounds with the sparkling ocean as its neighbour.

A bright and breezy palette of minimalist whites and understated luxury offers a bijou environment; sleek open-plan contemporary spaces, delightfully unfussy and unadorned make for a chic and tranquil abode with a wonderful, upbeat Caribbean ease throughout.

With almost an acre of mysterious and vegetation-rich grounds, a bubbling hot-tub and views of the ocean framed with swaying palm trees and charming decking space, outdoor living is stylishly executed. Sitting back with rum cocktails at the end of a busy day, slipping into the hot tub or enjoying the sun setting over the ocean will be about as good as it gets.

The interiors at La Lune are tasteful and timeless, offering the ultimate serenity, this space is infused with understated style. A contemporary kitchen offers glossy white surfaces and sleek, industrial metals, with a relaxed breakfast bar leading into a charming living room, sedate yet cosy with driftwood furnishings and tranquil, earthy palette.

Two gracious bedrooms are flawlessly finished, with hotel grade bedlinen, abundant natural light and designer flair, they are serene havens of tranquillity. All the modern touches are in place: Apple TV and Sonos and security alarm.

La Lune is a newly renovated home which blends European sophistication with Bajan ease; ideal for entertaining - it comes with a fully equipped bar, wine fridge, ice-maker and an assortment of cocktail blending tools.

The location speaks for itself at La Lune; effortlessly and understatedly stylish, this is a discreet abode hallmarked by quality and subtle design; a veritable retreat from the hedonism of the glitterati and star-studded flavour of the west coast, this is a place for rejuvenation, wellness and mindfulness.

Location

La Lune is set on Gibbs beach, which is much quieter than its neighbouring Mullins Beach, and is known for its peerless beauty, on arguably one of the finest stretches of coast in the world. Just north of Holetown, Gibbs Beach is backed by swaying palm trees, offering sparkling crystal waters and flawless white sands.

Several vendors offer lounge chairs, umbrellas and refreshments, such as the quintessentially Caribbean rum punch. Long enough for a stroll, catamaran charters cruise into the bay offering trips to Bridgetown and beyond, with snorkelling and sumptuous lunches on board. This stretch of coast is known as the “platinum coast,” for its fine beaches with white sands and clear, azure waters.

As well as the exclusive developments and international jet-set crowd that are drawn to this spot, visitors can delve into colourful, historical local life, architecture and traditions.

From rum festivals, to the colourful “crop over” festival (a tradition dating back to the plantation days), to indulgent beach massages, to Friday night's fried fish nights, visitors will experience a colourful, inspiring blend of tradition and luxury.

Water sports enthusiasts will be in their element, from sailing to snorkelling, jet-skiing to kite-surfing, Barbados has it all. One of the greatest delights of this island is boarding the sparkling waters for a catamaran cruise, along with a decadent buffet meal and drinks.

Close by Holetown will offer a slice of local Bajan life. The Chattel village is a melting pot of artisans, offering local crafts, art and jewellery. The Chattel houses provide a striking contrast to the colonial residences with their dazzling white coral facades and open verandas; the former are vividly coloured with fancy gables and gingerbread fretwork.

The west coast of Barbados is a blend of exclusive and high-end developments attracting a well-heeled, international jet-set, majestic beaches and intriguing, colourful local life.
